What is Rahul Misra doing with Van Gogh at Paris Fashion Week
Imitation is the highest form of flattery and homage, the politest imitation.
pRahul Misra has been spending time at the Centre Pompidou and itandrsquo;s showing in his work. In a hat tip to the great Van Gogh, we see sunflowers everywhere in his Autumn/ Winter andrsquo;17 offering. Only Van Gogh can say andlsquo;the sunflowers are mineandrsquo; and with this show Misra asks the question if they can be his too./p
pYou even see Paul Cignacandrsquo;s Pine Trees splayed out on a jacket. Misraandrsquo;s collection is bridging the gap between art, craft and fashion. In a single collection Misra likens pointillism to embroidery, references the abstract movement with bold lines and colour blocking and brings together velvet and tartan. A black and white abstract version is also reminiscent of Van Goghandrsquo;s Starry Nights but that could also be too much reading in between the lines./p pThe jackets are long and oversized, the shoulders often bare and the pants are high-waisted. The colour paletter remains neutral save for the yellow/orange of the sunflower. Itandrsquo;s a collection that lets you wear your art on your sleeve./p
